Trying out Helicon for the first few times on some flower makro shots (latest 6.7.2 on macOS 10.13.2).

Noticing that Method C gives better (sharper, no blurry parts) results as adviced with interleaved image details like seen on flowers. But I also notice that Method C gives an output file with less contrast and saturation than method A and B. Is that to be expected?
